The Boat Geeks #25 - Dave Upthegrove (candidate for WA State Public Lands Commissioner) Recorded 10.10.24 at the NMTA Marina & Boatyard ConferenceFor Dave, running for State Lands Commissioner is the culmination of a life and career focused on environmental and natural resources issues, not a stepping stone to higher office. Recorded on location at the Kitsap Conference Center in the Port of Bremerton during the 2024 Marina & Boatyard Conference, hosted buy the Northwest Marine Trades Association (NMTA), Darren and Daeron take a deep dive into the world of boating.This episode: The Boat Geeks learn how Dave's love of water and the outdoors developed at a young age. He spent his youth on Lake Burien, and summers in high school and college working outdoors — teaching young people about conservation on Dabob Bay in the Hood Canal and leading week-long treks through the Cascade Mountains. He spent 12 years as a State Representative and was was honored as Legislator of the Year by the Washington Conservation Voters. Dave brings all his public service experience and love of the water to his quest to become the next WA State Commissioner of Public Lands, a position which oversees the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and manages the state's public waterways.Brought to you by the Boater's Guide, a free mobile app for PNW boaters.

In this episode, Alice and Nicolas interview members of NMT Automatics, a theatre company which specialises in updating ancient myths for modern audiences. Co-founders Jennie Dunne and Jonathan Young have been working with director Andres Velasquez and dramaturg Mairin O'Hagan to develop a new play, Tempus Fugit: Troy and Us, which weaves together an Ancient Greek war story from Homer's Iliad with the tale of a modern military couple, Alec and Bea. The Visualising War project has been feeding into their research process, so we enjoyed catching up with them to find out how the play has evolved.In the podcast, we talk about how ancient models of military heroism can both help and hamper our visualisations of war today, and the NMTA team explain how they use ancient characters like Hector, Achilles, Ajax and Andromache to raise important questions about how war is imagined and experienced in the 21st century. They talk about the role that theatre and storytelling can play in deepening understanding of what soldiers, civilians and families go through, and how their play ended up focusing on the experiences of the military spouse. As they explain, what partners of serving soldiers go through is not discussed very often; but those partners spend a lot of time trying to visualise the wars which their loved ones are fighting in or preparing for, so they offer a fascinating perspective from which to explore wider habits of visualising war. Along the way, we chat about the cliches that often crop up when war is represented on stage and screen, and the important work that plays like Tempus Fugit can do in challenging assumptions and offering different viewpoints.Among other questions, we asked: What films/war stories shaped their habits of visualising war in the past? What cliches about conflict do stage and screen dramatisations tend to reinforce? And what role can theatre play in challenging those cliches?What can ancient war stories bring to modern understandings of war and conflict?What connections do they draw between the experiences of Hector and Andromache in the Trojan war and modern conflict/military culture as experienced by Alex and Bea?Why did they end up focusing on military spouses/partners, and what does that angle bring to the wider study of war?What impact do they hope their new play, Tempus Fugit, will have on military and civilian audiences?We hope you enjoy the episode!For a version of our podcast with close captions, please use this link. To find out more about the wider research we have been doing into dramatisations of war on stage and screen, you can read this blog.

Kevin Reid is the Founder and CEO of the National Minority Trucking Association with over 21 years of sales, marketing and executive management experience within the transportation industry. The NMTA provides education, resources and strong representation to all truckers across North America, with its founding focus based on the representation and educating of minorities within the industry. Mr. Reid began his transportation career in sales and marketing for an Atlanta based courier company before launching Universal Courier where he served as CEO. He then began serving as a go-to consultant for minority start-up trucking firms. Later he would become the co-founder of an Atlanta based intermodal trucking company where he served as Sr. Vice President. While serving in various industry positions, he was motivated to launch the NMTA as he discovered a void in the representation of minorities in the trucking and transportation industry. The NMTA offers many services and benefits such as education, training and consulation, all aimed in assisting truck drivers to succeed in their chosen profession. In addition to their strong representation, NMTA is constantly working to provide new benefits and services that will aid their members. These services and programs are designed to provide big fleet purchasing power to the independent professional trucker. Regardless of whether one is an owner-operator with their own authority or leased, or a company driver, the NMTA offers access to important benefits ranging from business operation, employment assistance and IRS Filings starting as low as $9.95 per single vehicle. Kevin Reid joins us as our special guest to further discuss the continual vision of the NMTA and to share some startling facts about the minority population within the trucking industry.
